Unlock your full potential
Hanging Straight Leg Raise, also known as Hanging Leg Raises, is an exercise that primarily targets the abdominal muscles and hip flexors. Ensure you maintain stable body tension during the exercise by activating your core and pulling your shoulders down. Avoid swinging or swaying the body.
Hang from a pull-up bar or a hanging abdominal trainer so that your arms are fully extended and your body is hanging freely. Palms can face forward or towards you.
Tighten your abdominal muscles and keep your legs straight and together. This is the starting position.
Exhale and raise your straight legs as high as possible by activating your hip flexors and abdominal muscles. Ensure that you do not bend your legs but keep them straight.
Briefly hold the top position while feeling the tension in the abdominal muscles.
Slowly and controlled lower your legs back to the starting position while inhaling.
